Otrivine side effects, what the hell is happening

30 weeks pregnant, took Otrivine as suggested by ObGyn to get a decent night's sleep as I have a terrible cold/sinusitis.

Took it last night - first reaction was burning in throat, but it did at least clear my nose. Woke up this morning with vertigo and nausea. When I got out of bed, heart palpitations and now breathlessness that has lasted the day.

Congestion is even worse this evening - now dry and sticky and feel like I absolutely cannot breathe.

Is this as normal reaction to Otrivine with rebound symptoms? Or is this quite extreme?

The rebound symptoms usually come after at least three days' use.
Sorry you are going through this
